Khalil Gibran (1883- 1931) was a Lebanese artist, poet, and writer who wrote in both English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero. Gibran's mysticism is a convergence of several different influences: Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Sufism, Judaism and theosophy. He wrote: 'You are my brother and I love you. I love you when you prostrate yourself in your mosque, and kneel in your church and pray in your synagogue. You and I are sons of one faith—the Spirit.'

Gibran believed in the fundamental unity of religions
